I called the pediatricians office, the nurse there spoke with our doctor and who told us to go to the ER. Another 45 minute drive there.
The doctor there wanted to try to not keep him over night. That is fine but I don't want another night like last night where he is in so much pain that he can't sleep and I would like to not have to change his clothing and shower him 3 times in a hour on no sleep.
They gave him some medication to settle his stomach. After waiting for it to kick in (20 minutes) we fed him to see what happened. He ate his bottle and did not throw up (thank goodness). So they sent us home. No more medication to settle his stomach (hope that stuff lasts forever or he gets over this before it wears off). He did have a slight fever which they told us to give him Tylenol for it (great idea if he can keep it down).
So here we are more than 24 hours after getting home yesterday. Gabriel has only had and kept down 3, 4oz bottles when he is to have 7 in a day. He will eat a oz or two and be done right now because his stomach is still a little upset.
He also is constipated. You can feel it when pushing lightly on his stomach. The suppositories are not working. They gave him 2 at the hospital on Wednesday and Thursday. We gave him one last night. I am taking the day away from home when he blows;)
We are home!

I think I would be about to blow...and not the way Gabriel is going to...if they didn't figure out what the heck was wrong with my kid! Hang in there. He's got an awesome mommy and daddy who love him bunches and are taking great care of him.
